|  Whats the best car youve ever been stuck in traffic with?
We all get stuck in traffic with alarming regularity. What is the best or most interesting car you have ever been stuck behind?
I got stuck behind a DB9 - beautiful lines and could have happily stayed there all day long. What about you or do you always get stuck behind a big lorry or ugly white van?

Normally the Clio with 5 "heads" in it, sat on its arches, ragged to crap with people in the back staring at me.
As I sit there and grin.
That, or the typical Micra/Van/Lorry | |

The best car I've got stuck behind was probably just a BMW or Mercedes! When I'm stuck in traffic I just turn up my stereo!

I got stuck behind a 206 race car on a trailer on the M25, was caged and I think fibreglassed body with those paint on lights, hehe. But I remember being stuck in traffic with Nick (faze9327492) when he was driving his birds BMW Mini Cooper and he was harrassing some dude in a Ferrari!
No traffic in N.Z unfortunately, only get stuck behind dairy trucks!

I've never been stuck behind a really nice car.
I mean I've been stuck behind Maseratis, TVR's, Aston's and the like but I find them a bit boring, maybe thats because the only really nice car I know of is my Daihatsu Charade and there so rare, I've seen a few others but never been stuck behind one in traffic | |

I was working with him a little bit up untill October, he is currently driving (working on) his golf, which I believe he is converting to a 1.8 20v turbo?
Excuse dodgy camera pic.

nah its not all tractors its more the ones who have a rather large queue behind them drive passed lots of road ends but never pull in.

I would like to refer to Highway Code 169:
Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass. | |
